I forget if this was an issue on Vista x86, but on Vista x64 choice.com chokes and dies. Instead you should use choice.exe which is found in %windir%\system32\choice.exe.
I keep jl_cmder in a common bin directory on
Dropbox (referral link), so I need it to work transparently on multiple versions of Windows. To accomplish this I modified jl_cmder.cmd as follows:
Before:
Code:
@ECHO OFF
CLS
MODE CON: COLS=47 LINES=42
SET TITLE=JL_Cmder
SET VERSION=1.9.1
SET AUTHOR=Doug Fisher
SET MODIFY_LAST=10/10/2008
After:
Code:
@ECHO OFF
REM BEGINNING OF CHANGES
SETLOCAL
IF EXIST %windir%\system32\choice.exe (
SET CHOICE=%windir%\system32\choice.exe
) ELSE (
SET CHOICE=%~d0%~p0choice.com
)
)
REM END OF CHANGES
CLS
MODE CON: COLS=47 LINES=42
SETLOCAL - Don't clutter environment variables
IF EXIST ... - Check and see if choice.exe exists, if so, use it. If not use choice.com from the same directory as jl_cmder.cmd.
In the rest of the file you want to replace
CHOICE WITH
%CHOICE%. A modified jl_cmder.cmd is also attached (remove the .txt extension)
Omg I Love You!!!
